Identity Crisis: Embracing Your True Namesake YM360

The journey of finding out who we are and where we come from is one of humanity’s most deeply-rooted needs. As we seek, if we can discover where our name comes from — whose namesake we are. We can begin to find our God-given identity and live with God-given authority in the context of God-given community. 

Identity Crisis: Embracing Your True Namesake is an invitation to understand where you come from, who you are, and why it matters so that students can be themselves in Christ, and fully embrace their true namesake.

“Identity Crisis” covers the following purposes and passages:

• SESSION 1 – “Are We in Crisis?”: You’ll help students understand that when we believe in Jesus, the foundation of our identity is found in Him and being a part of His family. (Acts 19:8-20)
• SESSION 2 – “What Does It Look Like?”: To show students that believers are identified by their passionate spirituality and their radical community, which infuses their lives with missional zeal. (Acts 2:42-47)
• SESSION 3 – “What Is My True Name?”: You’ll show students that we cannot do anything to earn our identity, as it is a God-given gift. (John 1:9-14)
• SESSION 4 – “How Can I Live Up to It?”: Students will learn that namesakes of Christ are commissioned to exercise God-given authority. (Luke 9:1-6)
